On the probability scale you have way more chance of that happening than you do finding a probably Hall of Famer in the 7th round.
But that's besides the point. Every great NHL hockey team got lucky a lot along the way. You can look at GMs like Poile who has been doing everything right for about 30 years and this is his first time in the finals.
Luck plays a pretty big role in team success at the NHL level.

its lucky when you consider what the odds were for the Penguins to end up with Crosby (and for the Oilers to end up with McDavid).
Getting players with top picks like Malkin, Letang, Draisaitl and Yakupov I'd agree were due to savvy GM picks though.
